We have started the "Volunteer Concert Supporters" program (monthly subscription).

Mainly the parents of Tohoku Youth Orchestra members, alumni, and everyone who has given enthusiastic support to the Tohoku Youth Orchestra.

Hello, this is Karin Hashimoto from Crowdfunding.

As we contacted all members last month, we have launched the " TYO Volunteer Concert Supporters" group as a way for you to continue to support the Tohoku Youth Orchestra Volunteer Concerts.

TYO Volunteer Concert Supporters can join with no joining fee and a monthly fee of 800 yen.

If you are a registered supporter, we will send you an e-mail newsletter every Friday to your registered e-mail address.

The email newsletter contains information about upcoming volunteer concerts, impressions from volunteer members who participated in those concerts, and information about the enthusiasm of each section and what to listen for in the upcoming regular concert in March.

We hope that parents will be able to see the members practicing and performing, and that alumni will be able to learn about the activities of the Tohoku Youth Orchestra. Also, we hope that those who are enthusiastic supporters of the Tohoku Youth Orchestra will be able to get to know us better, as they rarely have the chance to see our regular practice sessions or interact with us.

In November, we sent out an email newsletter on the theme of the volunteer concert held in Minamisanriku Town, Miyagi Prefecture on November 24th.

We also introduced footage of volunteers practicing during their lunch break, which cannot be found on the Tohoku Youth Orchestra website, enthusiasm and impressions from volunteer members about the volunteer concert, and recommendations for San San Shopping Street and Minamisanriku Town.

Starting this month, with the theme of the March regular concert, the first meeting was held on December 7th, where members looked back on previous concerts with their impressions.

This week we will be sharing comments from the first violins (Vn) regarding the March regular concert.

Today, we will be introducing some of them specially!

In the main piece, Brahms' Symphony No. 2, (omitted) I would be particularly pleased if you could listen to the bright and lively violin melody in the fourth movement.

This concludes the list of messages from the members of the 1st Violin Group that will be distributed this week.

Furthermore, there are some parts of the songs for the March regular concert that we were unable to introduce today, such as the parts we are struggling with and the characteristics of the parts, so please register.

We would like to share the hard work of our members with many parents, alumni, and passionate supporters. We hope you will take a look at our supporters' website.

We would like to thank you for your support as TYO Volunteer Concert Supporters .
